A Step Beyond is a nonprofit organization that provides economically disadvantaged youth with the skills and habits to reach their fullest potential. We do this through a unique approach that combines rigorous, professional dance training complimented by academic and family counseling services. Our program is modeled after other successful creative youth development organizations with histories of assisting 100% of their students through high school graduation and into higher education. A Step Beyond focuses on North County San Diego’s youth, providing them with the space and resources necessary to ignite their curiosity, build their artistic capacity, and challenge them to build a better future.
